The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1073 No One Dare Defy You

“You little rascal…” Adriana was touched, yet she remained uneasy. “You worry about me, and I worry about you too. Look at you. Ever since you returned from Essley, you’ve been dealing with all sorts of things without taking a proper rest. You’ve only been back for a few days and haven’t had a moment’s peace, and now this big issue has popped up…

Neera lowered her eyes with a gentle smile. “I’m fine, you know. Being young is all about endless hustle and bustle. Don’t worry about me, Aunt Adriana.”

“Exactly.” Chad respected Neera’s decision and also saw it as a great opportunity for growth. “Adriana, listen to Neera. And Neera, you can rest assured. When you arrive at the venue, I will arrange for trustworthy people to protect you. I absolutely won’t let anything happen to you.”

“All right, Uncle Chad. I have complete faith in your people. I can rest easy.

Adriana still felt quite worried, always having a sense of unease. “Will the Gordon family members take action against Neera? Or perhaps they may seize the opportunity to trip her up, set traps, and such. After all, many people are dissatisfied with her being the successor. Who knows, they may even harbor resentment towards Neera…”

Neera gently patted her aunt’s hand, soothing her with a warm voice.

“Aunt Adriana, don’t worry. It’s okay. I can handle it. The infighting in such a large family is inevitable. I have to face it sooner or later. Besides, I’ll have Uncle Chad’s protection. Even if they bear grudges against me, they have to think twice before doing anything to me. At most, they will just try to make things difficult for me.” She lifted her chin confidently, then shot Chad a meaningful glance.

The latter chuckled, pulling out an antiquated, bronze-colored token. “That’s right. If anyone dares to disobey you, show them this token. Seeing this token is as good as seeing me. It can fully represent my orders. If there are still those who do not comply, don’t hesitate to deal with them directly according to the family rules. When the time comes, Zephyr and Charles will be with you. Charles will know what to do.”

Neera took the token, smiling. “This token is quite heavy. With it in my hand, things will be much more convenient for me. Aunt Adriana, you can finally rest easy now, can’t you?”
